Ernie Kent didn’t land his first high-profile recruit as soon as we expected, nor did it happen the way we expected, but the signing of Roberto Gittens today is a godsend for us WSU basketball fans who still care about the program.
It’s been a while since we’ve truly had something to get excited about with regards to the future of Coug basketball. Between the losses, the forgettable recruiting and the incessant roster turnover, it was incredibly easy after the first few years of Kent’s tenure to assume that it was only a matter of time before the Good Ship Ernesto finally ran aground and we moved on to the next guy.
